ANNUAL REPORT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT FY97 COLLEGE OF LAW - u AUGUST, 1997 Major Accomplishments The year past was an important one for the leadership of the College of Law. Janice C. Griftith, a graduate of the University of Chicago and Professor of Law at Quinnipiac College School of Law, assumed the deanship on July 1, 1997, with the pledge to promote technological proficiency, expand international relationships, strengthen and increase community outreach and public service, and foster and support greater faculty research and scholarly activities. Her administration is the College's first post-accreditation deanship, being the first of the College's four deans who does not have to work for initial accreditation from the American Bar Association or the Association of American Law Schools. In accordance with the Dean's emphasis and the goal identified in the College's strategic plan, faculty this past year have worked to integrate new and emerging technologies into their teaching. The College has the good fortune of being among a select group of law schools around the country chosen to receive extraordinary help from West Publishing, the owner of WestLaw legal database, in developing new instructional and research tools. The West Project has contributed to the creative and innovative environment at the College of Law. Professor Patrick Wiseman, winner of the University's instructional innovation award, has utilized synchronous class discussions with his students and has assisted other faculty in introducing e-mail discussion groups to their classes. Faculty now have the training and the access to use Internet, on-line databases, and digital data prepared prior to class in their instruction. The equipping of a video computer projection machine in one classroom and the planned insta&tion in other rooms in the coming year are great encouragement to faculty to expand their instructional methods. Professor William Gregory participated in the Board of Regents workshop designed to explore the use of technology as an instructional tool to enhance student learning, and he has shared his enthusiasm for what he learned with other colleagues. A new computer training lab was built this past year for training faculty, staff, and students in various software packages, e-mail and internet use, and on-line data base research. The College's Meta-Index for Legal Research, found on the law school's internet home page and developed by Professor Wiseman, received much praise and recognition. The Austrian-American Comparative Dispute Resolution Program is the College's summer program in Central Europe and continues to be a valuable educational experience for our students. Based in Linz, Austria with visits to courts and administrative offices in Vienna, Prague, and Budapest, the 1997 summer program had the largest enrollment to date. The program is equally important to law faculty who attend in search of knowledge or who serve as instructors. Professor E. R. Lanier, the founder of this summer program, does an excellent job in organizing special itinerary for faculty in attendance. The College of Law was pleased that Richard Terrill, Professor of Criminal Justice, was a participant this past summer. Professor Terrill found the experience to be very informative, and all persons involved benefited from Professor Terrill's expertise in a related field. This past spring and summer the Linz program under went review by the American Bar Association for its special foreign study accreditation. A site evaluation was conducted by an ABA representative, and a report is forthcoming. Approval by the ABA will allow the College to offer this program to law students at other ABA accredited institutions. The relationship with the University of Linz offers us other opportunities for educational enrichment. Professor Hans Dolinar, former President of the University of Linz and a participant in Georgia State's summer program there, served as a visiting professor to Georgia State University College of Law during the fall semester of 1996. Through the coordination of the ABA's Central and East European Law Initiative, the College of Law is preparing for its second student exchange. Two Croatian law students will come to Georgia State to attend classes and to learn about the American legal system through extensive contact with members of the bench and bar. Professor Charles Marvin is providing leadership to this exchange as he did the Bulgarian student exchange two years ago. The past year saw a number of activities that strengthened and increased community outreach and public service. Professor Charity Scott, an authority on health law, continued her work with doctors at Grady Hospital and with other persons beyond the legal profession on medical ethics issues impacted by new techniques of science as well as new economic and social circumstances. Dean Janice C. Griffith served this past year as Chair of the American Bar Association Section of State and Local Government Law. Professor Marjorie Knowles continued her service on the board of the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF). Professor Victor Flatt has been working closely with the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper to offer advice and expertise and to secure educational opportunities for our students. Contributions were made to law reform in Georgia by Professor Mary Radford's service as reporter for the Probate Code Revision Committee of the Fiduciary Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia. She was the primary drafter of Georgia's new probate code adopted by the Georgia General Assembly. Other important service to our law makers is being performed by Professor Mark Budnitz, who is assisting legislators to deal with the many legal ramifications of electronic banking. Professor Marjorie Girth served on the Georgia Supreme Court's commission on gender equity in the court system as well as the State Bar of Georgia's commission on standards of the profession. The Consortium on Negotiation and Connict Resolution completed its first year based at the Georgia State University College of Law. With rapidly expanding activities and sigdicant ifision of State and external funds, the Consortium made simcant contributions to the study of this subject and to training of mediators and persons in sensitive and responsible positions in the secondary schools and University System institutions. Likewise, the College's Tax Clinic contributed much to society by representing before the I.R.S. and the Federal Tax Courts those persons who could not afford representation. The work of the Tax Clinic was greatly strengthened by the multi-year grant of $200,000 from the Trammell Foundation and the permanent funding for basic support from the University. The faculty of the College continued their impressive record of scholarly research and publications, building an ever greater professional reputation for themselves and contributing to an increasing scholarly reputation for the College and the University. Notable scholarly books published by the College of Law faculty include Ronald Blasi, The Bank Tax Deskbook; Mark Budnitz, supplements to The Law of Lender Liability, Nancy Johnson, new edition of winning Research Skills and L-; Paul Milich, Courtroom Handbook on Geor~a Evidence; Patricia Morgan, supplement to Tax Procedure and Tax Frad; Jack Williams, Kennedv.

ELBERT PARR TUTTLE Alfed C. Aman, Jr.t Elbert Parr Tuttle was a great man. What makes a person great may not always be what makes for greatness in ajudge, butJudge Tut- tle's character was integral to his greatness as ajudge. Throughout his long and illustrious life, certain qualities were always evident: his cour- age and independence of mind; his creativity; his commitment to law and to justice; his compassion, and his impeccable integrity. His de- meanor-grace and attentiveness are the words that come to mind- added to his ability to communicate, learn, and persuade. As an advo- cate and as ajudge, those qualities were perhaps most often reflected in his responses to the struggles of African Americans in the context of de jure segregation in the South. In a very profound sense, these were also qualities that made Judge Tuttle a great teacher.

  • The Fifth Circuit Four: the Unheralded Judges Who Helped to Break Legal Barriers in the Deep South Max Grinstein Junior Divisio
    The Fifth Circuit Four: The Unheralded Judges Who Helped to Break Legal Barriers in the Deep South Max Grinstein Junior Division Historical Paper Length: 2,500 Words 1 “For thus saith the Lord God, how much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast.”1 In the Bible, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are said to usher in the end of the world. That is why, in 1964, Judge Ben Cameron gave four of his fellow judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit the derisive nickname “the Fifth Circuit Four” – because they were ending the segregationist world of the Deep South.2 The conventional view of the civil rights struggle is that the Southern white power structure consistently opposed integration.3 While largely true, one of the most powerful institutions in the South, the Fifth Circuit, helped to break civil rights barriers by enforcing the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, something that other Southern courts were reluctant to do.4 Despite personal and professional backlash, Judges John Minor Wisdom, Elbert Tuttle, Richard Rives, and John Brown played a significant but often overlooked role in integrating the South.5 Background on the Fifth Circuit The federal court system, in which judges are appointed for life, consists of three levels.6 At the bottom are the district courts, where cases are originally heard by a single trial judge. At 1 Ezekiel 14:21 (King James Version).

    RBRL_OHD_010_Townsend_Transcript_V02_Formatted.doc SHERYL VOGT: It's November 17th, 2006. I'm Sheryl Vogt for the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies at the University of Georgia, and I'm interviewing Kil Townsend in Atlanta, Georgia. This is part of the Russell Library's Political Party Oral History Series. Mr. Townsend, would you please state your full name, and when and where you were born? KIL TOWNSEND: It's Kiliaen Van Rensselar Townsend. That's a family name, and you're never named "Kiliaen (inaudible) Van Rensselar," and that was the Dutch habit. I was born in Garden City, Long Island, New York. VOGT: And would you tell us something about your family in general? TOWNSEND: Well, my father was interested in politics, I guess, but he was in Wall Street. Went down there at the age of 16, and he was a partner -- the youngest partner at the time -- at the age of 22 at a big firm, and did very well there for a long while, until the Great '29 Crash. My mother was a socialite out of Southampton, and she was a great athlete herself, as far as women. And so we were a big deal in Garden City, which of course was a small commuter town. My father started the country club there, and started the first Fire Department on -- having paid firemen, and all that. So we -- we were, you might say, a big deal in a little pond until 1929. Then the Crash came, and my father lost everything. My parents were divorced.

  • Elbert Parr Tuttle (1897-1996) Attorney for the Defense: Fulton County Board of Education
    Elbert Parr Tuttle (1897-1996) Attorney for the Defense: Fulton County Board of Education n 1928, Atlanta attorney Cam Dorsey had the fortune of working on a case with a bright young lawyer named El- bert Parr Tuttle. Dorsey, brother to former Georgia gover- nor Hugh Dorsey, was also a member of the Fulton Coun- I ty Board of Education, which coincidentally was search- ing for new counsel. Dorsey was so impressed with Tuttle, he im- mediately recommended him for the job. Tuttle was born in California in 1897, but spent most of his childhood in Hawaii, where his father worked in the sugar busi- ness. Tuttle attended Punahou Academy alongside a great many native Hawaiians and so grew to appreciate diversity—a quality which would serve him throughout his illustrious career—one that began the moment he and his family made their home in Elbert Parr Tuttle, 1949., Georgia State University Archives Atlanta. Most of Tuttle’s notoriety, however, comes for what he accomplished after his term as the school system’s counsel. As a member of the National Guard, he was called up during World War II, and served as Lt. Colonel of an artillery battalion in the South Pacific, where he was wounded in hand-to-hand combat. Upon his return home, he would become instrumental in building the Republican Party in Georgia, which had for generations been a one-party state; and like Helen Mankin, he worked to abolish the county unit system in elections. As an attorney, Tuttle mostly represented clients in civil liberties-related cases, which put him in direct contact with the rights of labor and racial equality and occasionally found him in front of the U.S.

  • On Judge Motley and the Second Circuit
    ON JUDGE MOTLEY AND THE SECOND CIRCUIT Raymond J. Lohier, Jr.* INTRODUCTION Constance Baker Motley hardly needs an introduction in American civil rights circles. The first African American female attorney (and only the second female attorney) to join the storied NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) in 1946 (after graduating from Columbia Law School),1 Motley was a legendary civil rights lawyer by the time she joined the fed- eral bench in 1966.2 Justice William O. Douglas apparently considered her one of the top advocates to appear before him on the United States Supreme Court.3 Even those less familiar with the history of the LDF or its role in the legal civil rights struggle through the mid-1960s will have heard of some of Motley’s more famous clients and their cases: James Meredith, the first African American to enter the University of Missis- sippi,4 and Charlayne Hunter, who integrated the University of Georgia and later became a well-respected television journalist.5 Motley also worked to desegregate other state university systems, including those in Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama, as well as Clemson Univer- sity in South Carolina.6 For years until the late 1950s, Motley and other LDF attorneys, ably led by Thurgood Marshall, focused primarily, though not exclusively,7 on * United States Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Emanuel* Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. So it was in 1960 when Elbert Tuttle became the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over most of the Deep South. Part of the genius of the Republic lies in the carefully calibrated structure of the federal courts of appeal. One assumption underlying the structure is that judges from a particular state might bear an allegiance to the interests of that state, which would be reflected in their opinions.
